ARC: .exit.* sections can be discarded in .eh_frame regime
We used to keep the .exit.* sections as linker would fail in final link due to references from .debug_frame which itself could not be discardrd due to the forced "write,alloc" attributes for it. | LD init/built-in.o | `.exit.text' referenced in section `.debug_frame' of arch/arc/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arc/built-in.o | Makefile:949: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed With .debug_frame now retired, this hack is no longer needed. kernel binary is now a little bit smaller as well. closes STAR 9000549913 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
